Chandigarh, July 18

Chandigarh reports one death and 31 fresh COVID-19 cases on Saturday, taking the city’s death toll to 12.

A 55-year-old woman from Ram Darbar succumbed to the deadly virus. After complaining of severe abdominal pain, she was moved to Government Medical College & Hospital, Chandigarh, Sector 32 on Friday—where it was declared she was brought dead.

She tested COVID-19 positive on Saturday.

With 31 infections, the union territory’s tally stands at 691.

At present, Chandigarh has 194 active cases.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
